Trivial problem but I need you help, I want to send letter to my nephew for his birthday with 50 $ inside from Toronto to Chicago, is it safe to do that ?
Much better than cash, but money orders are even better because you can cash them in more places. Don't send cash at all. It's not just because of the possibility of theft; how bloody much do you trust Canada Post to not lose the thing? Also, unless you get something made out in US funds, you're only sending him about $35.mattmns said:Send a check.
Hey, we're getting better! The last time I was in Vegas for pool, $650 US cost me $900. That was in 2000.hitssquad said:$41.0252 USD.
What seems to be eluding you here is that we're dealing with Canada Post. Their record with mail is about the same as United Airlines' with luggage. :tongue:Pengwuino said:Use cash because most greeting cards these days have little pockets for money and the cards are all opaque enough to light that you can't see it.
It is not illegal to send cash in a letter, but it is not recommended. The United States Postal Service advises against sending cash through the mail because it is not insured and can be easily stolen.
The safest way to send cash through the mail is by using a money order or cashier's check. These forms of payment are insured and can be easily traced if they are lost or stolen.
There is no limit on the amount of cash that can be sent in a letter, but again, it is not recommended. If you must send cash, it is best to keep the amount small to minimize the risk of loss or theft.
If you are sending cash to another country, you may need to declare it on the customs form. It is best to check with the postal service or customs office of the destination country to see if any additional forms or fees are required.
No, it is not safe to send cash through regular mail. As mentioned before, it is not insured and can easily be stolen. It is best to use a more secure form of payment, such as a money order or cashier's check, if you need to send money through the mail.
